  • The Plutocratic Exit Strategy & Their False Flag     Alien Invasion Getaway Plan

    The Plutocratic Exit Strategy & Their False Flag     Alien Invasion Getaway Plan

    The following article by Mikey Pryvt appeared in New Dawn Special Issue Vol 10 No 1 (February 2016). Its reporting refers to events in 2016, but the author’s theory is more relevant than ever in light of the revelations in the new 2025 documentary The Age of Disclosure.

    When you have a few billion dollars and fervently believe in the promise of Transhumanism, not just the world but the Solar System and the entire Galaxy appear to be full of threats. When you are certain that immortality is within your grasp and are planning on building a multiplanetary civilisation exclusively for the 1%, your problems aren’t on the level of paying the bills or getting a job – they’re on the scale of an alien invasion – an extraterrestrial takeover of your assets. You fear you’ve only won a game being played inside a Machine Simulation with Artificial Intelligence arising to challenge your dominance.1 

    This is why the World’s Elite – the Plutocrats – are heavily investing in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI),2 under the Breakthrough Listen initiative, but cautioning against making Contact with them (Contacting Extraterrestrial Intelligence or CETI). Why they’re not just building a private (plutocratic) space program, but trying to set up asteroid-detecting infrastructure, such as the Sentinel Space Telescope.3 And most recently of all: launching a non-profit artificial intelligence group, OpenAI,4 that exists solely to balance out the private research of Google and Facebook, all in the name of “benefiting humanity.” Noticeably led by their spokesperson, Elon Musk, these billionaires and their helpers are intent on creating an entirely new civilisation that will cross space and span worlds; all whilst the Earth and the majority of its population dies off. This is not a coincidence. Far from it. 

    The thesis I have been developing – an alternate narrative for not just our present situation, but one that also explains events of the past few decades – I call “The Plutocratic Exit Strategy.” It points to an ongoing alliance between corporate and military powers to create a Breakaway Civilisation (if such a thing doesn’t already exist). One that unites the world of Classified Technology with the efforts of Silicon Valley to create an ultra high tech, post-carbon series of walled cities across the planet – and soon off it – that will function as a single society connected via new methods of transport such as the Hyperloop and Space X’s Falcon rockets. 

    Just as high ranking Nazis covertly travelled to countries in South America once they knew they were losing the war, so these people that have profited from polluting and destroying the Earth are setting in place the means to start over on Mars, or elsewhere. And UFOs provide the perfect means to cover their escape. This is the more sinister side of their sudden interest in not just SETI, but how people might react to Contact (or Disclosure).

    A False Flag Alien Invasion has long been touted as one means by which a New World Order could instantly establish its dominance over the Earth. The existence of such a plan has been attributed to the death bed confessions of (former Nazi scientist and later American space program pioneer) Wernher von Braun as the final stage in long term plans to engineer a planetary takeover on demand. It would supposedly unite the globe under a single government as the citizens of the world cower in fear of the sudden arrival of clearly superior technology, almost magical UFOs – craft that are actually the advanced prototype vehicles of this Breakaway Civilisation. It’s unquestionably a clever strategy, but it presupposes that the goal is merely to control our home planet and its people. It makes for an even more cunning plan if – all in plain sight – the rich, and all the loot they’ve gathered, make their way off-world under the cover of ‘Alien Motherships’ arriving and departing over various major cities. 

    It’s an idea that’s long lurked within Science Fiction (SF). We can illustrate it by referencing Arthur C. Clarke’s novel Childhood’s End and see elements of it about to be on display in the TV show Colony. If these billionaires are already in the process of realising their Space Age fantasies of having their own rockets and travelling to other planets, how are we to know where they’ll stop in drawing from the well of Golden Age SF to achieve their agenda? Most importantly for the rest of us: just by being aware of the possibility of such a scenario we’re less likely to fall for such an act of misdirection in the greatest getaway ever attempted.

    In the TV series Colony, the future population are forced by an invading extraterrestrial force to live behind enormous walled cities. It is said of the ETs that “no one ever sees them.”

    “Suppose the Overlords are hiding the fact that they’ve got nothing to hide?”

    “That sounds just a little complicated to me,” said Stormgren, beginning to take slight interest.

    “What I mean is this,” Van Ryberg continued eagerly. “I think that physically they’re human beings like us. They realise that we’ll tolerate being ruled by creatures we imagine to be – well, alien and super-intelligent. But the human race being what it is, it just won’t be bossed around by creatures of the same species.”
    Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke

    The effectiveness of using a False Flag Alien Invasion to cower the majority of the human population – not that they actually said it aloud – formed part of the conclusion of the classic Brooking’s Report released at the end of 1960: “Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs.”5 Its famous warning about the resultant collapse likely to result from First Contact, derived from Margaret Mead’s study of ‘primitive societies’, stated:

    Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they have had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in its values and attitudes and behaviour.

    There’s a passage above this one that’s even more interesting:

    The discovery would certainly be front-page news everywhere: the degree of political or social repercussion would probably depend on leader’s interpretation of (1) its own role, (2) threats to that role and (3) national and personal opportunities to take advantage of the disruption or reinforcement of the attitudes and values of others.

    It’s literally all there in that third part: national and personal opportunities to take advantage of the disruption. To use the term popularised by Naomi Klein in her work on Disaster Capitalism, an effective False Flag Alien Invasion enables the implementation of the ultimate Shock Doctrine strategy.

    Here’s how one could do so, if they were so inclined… Here’s what to watch for, if we want to catch them in the act:

    Hover some tricked out, mocked up ‘Alien Motherships’ over the cities you want to control, then quickly 3D-print formidable walls around the key pieces of territory you want to control. Bring out all the classified trillion dollar toys – such as drones of all shapes and sizes and abilities far beyond what’s been seen before – to patrol the now “alien governed” city state and maintain that overwhelming presence. Send out the mad science creatures conjured in the lab with the genetic engineering technology, CRISPR, and whatever else they built. Create a fully mythic menagerie to showcase your mastery over nature and crank the Wow Factor up to 11.

    In the recent essay “CRISPR Critters and CRISPR Cracks,” two geneticists write that we shouldn’t be surprised at all to soon learn about “the billionaire who decides to give his 12-year-old daughter a real unicorn for her birthday”:

    Basic physics will almost certainly combine with biological constraints to prevent the creation of flying dragons or fire-breathing dragons – but a very large reptile that looks at least somewhat like the European or Asian dragon (perhaps even with flappable if not flyable wings) could be someone’s target of opportunity.6

    What technomagical NeoFeudal takeover is complete without dragon simulacra? Or, to mark the full conquest of Earth, and test the psychological takeover of humanity, introduce the secretive rulers of the world to be… the Devil. This is another pro-tip provided in Childhood’s End.

    There was no mistake. The leathery wings, the little horns, the barbed tail – all were there. The most terrible of all legends had come to life, out of the unknown past. Yet now it stood smiling, in ebon majesty, with the sunlight gleaming upon its tremendous body, and with a human child resting trustfully on either arm. (Childhood’s End)

    In the storyline of the TV series Childhood’s End – based on Arthur C. Clarke’s book of the same title – Karellen, an alien calling himself an “Overlord,” arrives on Earth and promises humanity a bold new world, one free of disease, poverty, crime and war. Is this veritable utopia to be trusted – especially when Karellen reveals himself to the world and bares a strong resemblance to the Devil?

    An especially useful tactic if one is implementing an inversion of the Man-Behind-The-Man trope,7 “in which case a person you thought was the Big Bad’s crony turns out to be the real Big Bad.”8

    Do this all before the people have any chance to react, let alone rebel, and the Technocratic Takeover is instantaneous. No one is wise to the fact that a Breakaway Civilisation just annexed them. Instead, the bulk of humanity will just see wonders and miracles appear from beyond the Wall, and think themselves privy to a new Golden Age dawning upon the Earth – never knowing that the Wall is nothing more than the curtain from The Wizard of Oz and it’s all a cheap trick meant to dazzle and distract. Cheap when you’ve already sequestered the spoils of the Earth, safe and secure and guarded by humans happy to collaborate.

    Next, set up Exclusion Zone buffers between the borders of the city state and the areas where the rest of the human population reside. Controlling access by Breakaway Civilisation non-citizens (aka the 99%) and serving as a launching point for various species of “alien craft” to go out and do as their will. Taking the remaining resources of the planet required to fulfil their unknowable “alien agenda,” be that minerals, technology or people. Such a strategy enables the further destruction of the planet under the cover of the acts of an ‘Extraterrestrial Intelligence’. This is how the Plutocrats can further strip the planet of all its worth and set themselves up on Mars, or elsewhere. It could all be over before anyone wakes up to it.

    Capricorn One is a 1977 government conspiracy thriller film about a Mars landing hoax. Could it happen in real life?

    This is, then, potentially, the final open act in a long term secret plan. As we’ve learned in recent months, the Oil Cartels have known since at least the late 1970s that the climate was being destroyed by their business activities. They even contemplated moving over to a new energy system at the time, but instead chose to spend the entire time since the 1990s fighting any and all attempts to curb their activities, and thus preserve their huge profits. The board members of companies such as Exxon are just the kind of customers SpaceX has in mind to fund the first stages of their interplanetary infrastructure roll-out. They’ll soon pay any price to make their escape from Earth, before the eco-holocaust trials begin. 

    “Yet man had not discovered anti-gravity; only the Overlords possessed that ultimate secret.” 
    Childhood’s End

    If we can make reliable inferences from what knowledge is publicly available, they may be going faster and further than we first suspect. The reactionless EM Drive9 – initially dismissed by NASA, then proven by Chinese scientists – could be one means of propulsion that’s far more advanced than has been openly acknowledged. 

    Incredible engineering projects of such an epic, inhuman scale are exactly what members of the think tanks favoured by the Plutocrats are contemplating. This was evidenced appropriately enough through recent discussion of a possible alien artefact: the partial Dyson Sphere touted as an explanation for the unusual observations of the star, KIC 8462852. Anders Sandberg, James Martin Research Fellow, Future of Humanity Institute & Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford, wrote on the subject:

    To build a Dyson sphere, one would need to disassemble a nearby body, like a planet, to provide the material for the solar captors. In a recent paper written with a colleague, we calculated that disassembling Mercury to make a partial Dyson shellcould be done in 31 years. One way of doing this would be to mechanically disassemble the planet, much like we do in our aluminium and steel industries. From these industries, we know a lot already about the energy cost of such work, so the trick is to use already mined material to build more mining equipment and solar collectors to power it, achieving an exponential feedback loop.

    The time it would take to disassemble any terrestrial planets is not much longer than for Mercury, while the gas giants would take a few centuries. Our aim in the paper was to show that using a small fraction of the resources in the solar system it is possible to harness enough energy to launch a massive space colonisation effort (literally reaching every reachable galaxy, eventually each solar system), but the important point is that this kind of planetary engineering is fast on astronomical timescales.10 (Emphasis added)

    No question, then, that ‘great minds’ are at work on the problem of conquering the Galaxy within a few decades.

    In the scenario I’m proposing, the ongoing seemingly ever escalating crisis afflicting the world isn’t being engineered to make humanity at large cry out for the arrival of a greater power to stabilise things at any cost. Instead, it’s the direct result of a planetary escape plan in motion. The chaos besetting the world is the mud and dust being kicked up as the Elite make one last grab for power and territory before running back and commencing their extraplanetary expansion. A slow motion apocalypse such as this doesn’t need to be fed or engineered for its own sake, it just naturally results from the neglect of the so-called Powers-That-Be; a leadership out for itself alone. Having long been initiated into the mechanics of their shared Exit Strategy, they can operate knowing they’ll soon have Walls to hide behind on Earth; and shortly after, beyond it.

    A modest fleet size of just three craft, adopting Extraterrestrial characteristics, could be handily magnified across the globe with the use of a Project Blue Beam-style holographic technology mirroring it above other key cities. This is another thing that makes Childhood’s End look like an instruction manual for a technocratic coup.

    There was only the single ship now, hanging above New York. Indeed, as the world had just discovered, the ships above Man’s other cities had never existed. The day before, the great fleet of the Overlords had dissolved into nothingness, fading like mists beneath the morning dew. The supply ships, coming and going far out in space, had been real enough; but the silver clouds that had hung for a lifetime above almost all the capitals of Earth had been an illusion. How it had been done, no one could tell, but it seemed that every one of those ships had been nothing more than an image of Karellen’s own vessel. Yet it had been far more than a matter of playing with light, for radar had also been deceived, and there were still men alive who swore that they had heard the shriek of torn air as the fleet came in through the skies of Earth. It was not important; all that mattered was that Karellen no longer felt the need for this display of force. He had thrown away his psychological weapons. (Emphasis added)

    UFOs are the ultimate in shock & awe, as was discovered during the alien invasion (see the events of The Avengers etc) in the Marvel universe. Their secret aerospace program is actually the direct consequence of this. But they’re just movies, right? Nobody is telling secrets out of school… In reality, the public Space Race of the 21st century is shaping up to be a showdown with China and Russia on one side and the Plutocratic Space Program on the other. NASA has already stated that it wants to hand over LEO (low-Earth orbit missions) to the corporations,11 advancing its own activities to cislunar space. NASA has an Exit Strategy too, it’s just (publicly) more modest; first get established around the Moon and then start capturing asteroids.

    Asteroid mining clearly lies on the horizon of industrialisation, and is just one of the big economic shake-ups coming. The problem remains how to cost-effectively get the trillions of dollars of minerals (by Earth standards) down to our planet. Just because there’s competing factions doesn’t necessarily mean we can expect the accidental destruction of a rival faction’s walled city. And yet any asteroid flying by the Earth gets an increasing amount of publicity, building up public perception of this threat… It may well be all part of the Plan.

    The only thing worse than a False Flag Alien Invasion is multiple, simultaneous and competing False Flag Alien Invasions. Or full scale Total Cosmic War, as rival Breakaway Civilisations battle over the resources of not just Earth, but the Solar System and beyond. Each faction dismantling entire planets to create interstellar transport vehicles or armadas of weaponised starships. Reports of such space wars can be found in the ancient Hindu epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. I can only pray there aren’t further volumes to be added in the future. Brighter tales of ecological restoration and space colonisation by 100% of humanity would be my preference.

  • UFOs – Even More Mysterious Than You’d Think 

    UFOs – Even More Mysterious Than You’d Think 

    From New Dawn Special Issue Vol 10 No 1 (Feb 2016)

    Reports of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have fascinated me since early childhood. I’ve spent many a night lying on the deck of my childhood home, staring at the sky and waiting – no, hoping – for something ‘strange’ to happen. As Jung wrote, UFOs are symbols of powerful processes in our obfuscated psyche, which explains people’s fascination with them.

    Later in life, what was a childhood fascination became a more serious, scholarly interest. I’ve read much of the literature on UFOs just to become highly disillusioned with what people make of the phenomenon and the evidence. Today, I am very critical – even cynical – of much of what takes place within ‘UFOlogy’. I hold the opinion that the field is riddled with fantasies, delusions and outright deception aimed at commercial gain or personal fame. So much so that, if not for the work of one man – a voice of reason and integrity in a morass of hysteria – I would have dismissed the whole affair once and for all. This man is French UFO investigator Jacques Vallée.

    What I find refreshing in Vallée’s work is his readiness to follow the evidence wherever it leads. Most ‘UFOlogists’ today seem to hold the opinion that UFOs are material spacecraft from another star system. This is the so-called ‘Extraterrestrial Hypothesis’ (ETH) and its motivations are clear: in a field already characterised by weirdness, the last thing investigators want is to compound the weirdness by proposing a hypothesis that doesn’t fit neatly into our mainstream materialist worldview. But the evidence doesn’t support the ETH at all. In Vallée’s own words:

    The accumulated data base exhibits several patterns tending to indicate that UFOs are real, represent a previously unrecognised phenomenon, and that the facts do not support the common concept of ‘space visitors’. Five specific arguments… contradict the ETH: (1) unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth; (2) the humanoid body structure of the alleged ‘aliens’ is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel; (3) the reported behaviour in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race; (4) the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; and (5) the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives.

    So if the ETH doesn’t hold up in view of the evidence, how else can we make sense of UFOs? I have extensively elaborated upon it in my earlier book Meaning in Absurdity. In this essay, I’d like to offer a different spin on my hypothesis.

    Before I can do that, however, I need to share with you my view of the fundamental nature of reality: I believe all reality – including our bodies – is in consciousness, not consciousness in our bodies. As such, consensus reality is an imagined story emerging from obfuscated, collective parts of our psyches, like a shared dream. Our individual psyches are thus dissociated ‘alters’ of a single consciousness – which I call ‘mind-at-large’ – underlying all known and unknown reality. Consensus reality is a particular ‘dream’ of mind-at-large. I am well aware that this view sounds peculiar at first sight, but essays 2.1 and 2.2 of this book [Brief Peeks Beyond] substantiate it in depth. Here, all I ask is that you temporarily suspend your disbelief and entertain this view for the sake of argument.

    If mind-at-large can dream an entire reality and also has the potential to split itself into dissociated alters, then nothing precludes the possibility that multiple dreams may be unfolding concurrently in mind-at-large. Allow me to unpack this: as mentioned above, each person is a dissociated alter of mind-at-large, partaking in a collective dream that we call consensus reality. Our individual psyches unite at a deep, obfuscated level, and the dream of consensus reality is imagined at that unified level. That’s why we are able to share the dream. But perhaps there are multiple, hierarchical, nested and parallel levels of dissociation and alter formation. Perhaps our individual psyches unite not at the ground level of mind-at-large, but at an intermediary level that is itself dissociated from other intermediary levels. We human beings may be alters of a meta-alter, and there may be multiple, parallel meta-alters in mind-at-large. As a matter of fact, there may be meta- meta-alters, and meta-meta-meta-alters, etc.

    So the hypothesis is that, as our consensus reality is the dream of a meta-alter in mind-at-large, other meta-alters are having other dreams in parallel to ours. Each of those dissociated dreams is a reality in its own merit. Multiple, perhaps countless dreams are unfolding in the hierarchy of dissociation of mind-at-large, somewhat analogously to the parallel universes that physicists like to talk about. Each of these dreams has its own storyline: its own internal logic, physics, history and living inhabitants.

    And here is where UFOs and ‘aliens’ come into the picture. Have you ever had a dream in which an event in the waking world penetrated the dream without waking you up immediately? For instance, I once went to sleep with the window of my hotel room open while on holidays abroad. In the middle of the night, while I lay asleep, there was a storm and some drops of rain began landing on my bare feet. The wind was also moving the curtains about, which caused some noise in the room. I was dreaming whilst this was happening. At some point in my dream, I found myself walking on a beach with my feet in the surf. The feeling of wetness on my real-life feet morphed seamlessly into the feeling of dragging my feet in the seawater. The sound of the wind and moving curtains inside my hotel room morphed seamlessly into the sound of waves breaking on the beach. I realised all this because I woke up in the middle of it and, for a few brief seconds, could simultaneously feel the surf and the raindrops landing on my feet; I could simultaneously hear the wind in the room and the waves on the beach. During those brief moments, I knew that these experiences, while different, were in a way also the same. The ‘dream’ of waking life had penetrated my nightly dream.

    This is the key: dissociated dreams can perhaps – under exceptional, delicate circumstances – penetrate each other. Separate storylines can momentarily overlap and cross-influence one another. When that happens, the protruding element from a source storyline – say, the raindrops in my hotel room – gets ‘dressed up’ in an image that is amenable to integration into the destination storyline – that is, the surf in my dream. Indeed, there were no raindrops in my dream; just surf. There was no perceptible wind in my dream; just waves. The protruding element isn’t perceived as it appears in its source storyline, but in an alternative form characteristic of the storyline it penetrates. In a sense, the protruding element gets ‘hijacked’, co-opted by the narrative it penetrates so to become an integral part of it. Yet, the underlying, intrinsic attributes of the protruding element remain the same and are accommodated by the form it acquires in the destination storyline: the wetness of the raindrops was preserved in the form of surf; the oscillating, flowing sound of the wind and curtains was preserved in the form of waves. Although the form these protruding elements acquired inside my dream was very different than their original form, their intrinsic, fundamental attributes were preserved.

    By now, I’m sure you’ve already guessed where I am going with this: what if UFOs and aliens are protruding elements of parallel ‘dreams’ unfolding in mind-at-large, which penetrate our consensus reality and acquire a form amenable to integration within it? It isn’t then surprising that this acquired form should resemble advanced versions of concepts we are familiar with and can place within our storyline: spaceships, anthropoid life forms, medical procedures, computer technology, etc. These acquired forms often look internally inconsistent, cartoonish or even absurd simply because they aren’t the original forms of the protruding elements; instead, they reflect a rather precarious accommodation, in our own storyline, of the intrinsic attributes of something that fundamentally transcends our logic and physics. Here, I suggest, lies the reason for the ‘high strangeness’ of UFO and so-called ‘alien abduction’ phenomena.

    If even a very small percentage of reported UFO and ‘alien abduction’ cases are valid and accurate, we have no alternative but to envision rather unusual, speculative hypotheses for making sense of it. The high-strangeness character of the phenomenon demands no less and this is what I attempted to offer here. Alternatively, we can simply deem all the evidence to be invalid and sleep more easily at night.

    Extraterrestrial Life: Implications for the Materialist Paradigm

    There has been growing expectation among scientists that extraterrestrial microbial life will be discovered in our solar system within the next few decades, perhaps in one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn. I’ve asked people close to me whether they thought this would be a paradigm-breaking event, and the response has been mostly in the ‘no’ camp. Such a reaction is completely understandable: scientists have been acknowledging for years that life may be common and widespread in the universe, so why would its discovery in a neighbouring celestial body break any paradigms? Nonetheless, I think we are overlooking something crucially important here, which has vast implications for how we look upon ourselves and reality at large.

    Our culture’s mainstream view is that life is a mechanistic process explainable entirely by the known laws of physics. In other words, life is merely an epiphenomenon of dead matter. There is supposedly nothing to life but the same movements of subatomic particles behind erosion, crystallization, combustion, the weather, etc. As such, life is allegedly no different than erosion or crystallization, except in that metabolism operates faster. Biological organisms are mere ‘robots’, entirely analogous to a computer. Life is believed to have arisen by mere chance, through the random collisions of atoms and molecules in a primordial chemical soup on primitive Earth. So the question is: if biology were discovered in a celestial body next door, would that raise new and difficult questions for such a mechanistic view of life? I think it would.

    Nobody knows today how life could emerge from dead matter. There are dozens of theories and even more loose avenues of speculation, but no one has ever managed to re-create life from dead matter – a process called ‘abiogenesis’ – in a laboratory. Therefore, there is just no proof that life could ever have arisen from non-life through purely mechanistic means. Yet, mechanistic abiogenesis is indispensible for materialism. Without it, materialism would fall apart, for it would fail to explain that which conceived materialism in the first place: human life.

    The problem is that, not only do the different structures necessary for metabolism need to arise concurrently in an organism, very complicated mechanisms for the replication of these structures – that is, reproduction – need to arise along with them. Otherwise, life would pop into existence just to disappear again. Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize laureate and co-discoverer of DNA, once thought it impossible for the self-replication mechanisms essential to life to arise spontaneously, mechanistically, from a chemical soup on primitive Earth. He thought the complexity required was just too great. Although Crick later felt that he had been a little too pessimistic in his original assessment, the key point still stands: mechanistic abiogenesis, if at all possible, is extraordinarily unlikely.

    Now, how does this tie in with the possible discovery of extraterrestrial microbial life? Well, if we were to find independently-arisen life in our immediate cosmic neighbourhood – right here, next door – the obvious implication would be that abiogenesis is a very common occurrence in the cosmos. After all, what are the chances that a rare event would happen, independently, twice within the same star system? But if it’s common, then life can’t be the kind of accidental, mechanistic phenomenon that it is purported to be by materialist science. Mechanistic abiogenesis, after all, can at best be extraordinarily rare; if at all possible. The discovery of a second instance of abiogenesis in our solar system would, therefore, force us to consider the possibility that life is the expression of yet-unrecognised but intrinsic organising principles in nature. It would force us to consider the possibility that nature is, in a way, meant to produce life. This, by any measure, would indeed be a paradigm-breaking conclusion.

  • Jim Morrison – Secret Teacher: “Break on Through” to Higher Consciousness

    Jim Morrison – Secret Teacher: “Break on Through” to Higher Consciousness

    From New Dawn Special Issue Vol 18 No 5 (Oct 2024)

    In the fall of 2019, I set out to show that American classic rock vocalist Jim Morrison of The Doors is not only a secret teacher but one in the Western esoteric tradition.

    A secret teacher is a special kind of person connected to another reality they feel called to explore, a reality beyond what the five senses can perceive and the rational mind can understand. Jim Morrison, Secret Teacher of the Occult: A Journey to the Other Side is about his artistic response to this other reality and why he bravely chose to express it so openly.

    The Western esoteric tradition is filled with secret teachers who feel that their strong connection to this other reality demands expression. Morrison travelled this path as a modern shaman through rock music, poetry, and film. However, this path to self-realisation is often problematic as these individuals are frequently misunderstood. They turn inward and embark upon that “stormy search for the self,” the title of an illuminating 1990 work on spiritual awakening by Christina and Stanislav Grof. Morrison found the courage to make us aware of that other reality through poetic lyrics and his shamanic presence.

    A young Jim Morrison in contemplation.

    Morrison’s artistic contributions are manifold. He was one of the pioneering lead vocalists in early rock music history, his most significant influence being the legendary Elvis Presley.

    Morrison was drinking one afternoon on the patio of one of his favourite bars in West Hollywood, Barney’s Beanery, when he told American author Jerry Hopkinsthat he wanted to read a biography on Elvis. Hopkins would later co-write with American author Danny Sugarman the first biography on Morrison, 1980’s No One Here Gets Out Alive. Inspired by Morrison’s suggestion, Hopkins wrote Elvis: A Biography, the first of its kind, published in 1971.

    Morrison’s 1969 independent film HWY: An American Pastoral gave him a place in film history. Experimental filmmaking was Morrison’s original artistic ambition, leading him to earn a degree in cinematography from UCLA in 1965. Morrison became one of America’s best poets, writing in short verses much like his favourite poet, the late nineteenth-century French boy wonder Arthur Rimbaud, who also influenced the American Beats and singer-songwriters Patti Smith and Bob Dylan.

    To appreciate the cosmic consciousness in Morrison’s art and better understand him as a human being, you must look back much further.

    Western Esoteric Tradition

    Enlightening clues about Morrison’s true self are found in the centuries-old Western esoteric tradition. It’s a thrilling chronicle of mysterious secret teachers who sought to preserve and expand upon what author Gary Lachman calls “rejected knowledge” in his 2015 work The Secret Teachers of the Western World. Lachman tells of the secret teacher’s struggles against what British poet William Blake called “the mind-forg’d manacles” in his long poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

    The Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle taught Alexander the Great when he was a boy – a historical figure Morrison greatly admired – that all human beings possess a desire to know. The great library established in Alexandria on Ancient Egypt’s Mediterranean coast in the third century BCE – a city named after Alexander the Great – would satisfy the ancient world’s hunger for knowledge for a number of centuries. Some say the Western esoteric tradition was born from this ancient library, a place where Morrison would have felt right at home.

    Insatiable Quest for Knowledge

    What makes Morrison such a memorable secret teacher is the Alexander the Great warrior-like intensity he channelled into making us aware of that other reality. It’s as if Morrison were picking up where Alexander the Great left off, upset there were no more worlds left to conquer. Only that other reality Aristotle alluded to awaited rediscovery.

    Morrison’s desire to know was so powerful he became a warrior for the human soul’s higher aspirations and potential, as many other secret teachers before him such as Hypatia, Giordano Bruno, Jacob Boehme, John Dee, Aleister Crowley, and William Blake. Morrison’s life was like theirs in many aspects, one rich with spiritual awakening, peak experiences, eccentricity, exceptional intelligence, separation from society as an outsider, an insatiable quest for knowledge, timeless achievements, startling convictions, a strong sense of what twentieth-century British author Colin Wilson called “purpose and meaning,” notoriety bordering on pariah status, a chaotic life that sometimes made interpersonal relationships difficult, run-ins with the law, and persecution.

    Morrison had a great hunger for knowledge. The rooms he lived in during his high school and university years were stacked floor to ceiling with hundreds of books, his own personal Hellenistic Alexandria-type library.

    He made little effort to do well academically yet still earned high grades, focusing on class assignments that interested him and the various books he took inspiration such as Swiss-American artist Kurt Seligmann’s 1948 work The History of Magic.

    Morrison made up stories to excuse himself from class and turned down invitations from popular fraternities so he wouldn’t have to conform. What made him tick was an eclectic array of subjects any hip, artistic, spiritually awake person living in the middle of the twentieth century would gravitate to, such as Symbolist poetry, existential philosophy, literature, ancient history, modern art, Freudian psychology, Beat novelists and poets, avant-garde filmmaking, blues music, and occult esoterica such as alchemy, magic, witchcraft, and demonology.

    These preferences, combined with his love for Elvis Presley, put Morrison on a preordained path to wake us up to cosmic consciousness rock and roll style, what he referred to in his live performances and poems as the “Universal Mind.”

    Morrison was, by temperament, a Romantic. While in high school, he read Colin Wilson’s 1956 work The Outsider, which explores a number of Romantic personalities as well as artists, philosophers and those misunderstood by their contemporaries. Wilson wanted to know why certain geniuses experienced profound “highs” and “lows” that led some to pessimism, depression, drug addiction, terminal illness, and suicide.

    Wilson highlights nineteenth-century Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night as expressing a heightened awareness he dubs “the peak experience.” Wilson notes that Van Gogh committed suicide one year after painting the masterpiece. Before dying, Van Gogh told his brother Theo, “La tristesse durera toujours” (‘The sadness will last forever’). Morrison shared Van Gogh’s bleak view of life, lamenting in his posthumously produced 1978 poetry album An American Prayer, “Could any Hell be more horrible than now, and real?”

    Morrison nearly met Van Gogh’s fate on more than one occasion. In Three Hours for Magic, The Jim Morrison Special, Doors guitarist Robby Krieger tells the story of how Doors drummer John Densmore and Krieger once spent an entire night talking Morrison out of killing himself. Krieger remembers having to do this for Morrison more than a few times. Morrison took a walk before sunrise and returned in a completely different mood, feeling euphoric, saying “he’d seen the light” and that he’d written a new song, “People Are Strange,” one of the many classics Morrison would write for The Doors. The person threatening to take his own life a couple of hours earlier had vanished.

    Scene from Oliver Stone’s 1991 film The Doors shows the young Morrison (played by Sean Stone) passing by a fatal accident in which the spirits of dying indigenous Indians enter his soul.

    Break on Through to the Other Side

    Morrison possessed a strong connection to the spirit world. He was adamant that ghosts of dying native American workers he encountered at age three on a road trip with his family in New Mexico had entered his soul. Morrison viewed this spiritual indwelling as the most significant event of his life.

    Colin Wilson’s The Outsider would have strongly resonated with Morrison at the start of his journey of awakening.

    Later, Morrison’s spiritual awakening became intense as his laser-focused reading and journaling invoked numerous peak experiences followed by deep falls into depression, boredom, panic, hopelessness, despair, rage, confusion, and violent thoughts. Morrison’s behaviour would sometimes go beyond eccentric and bizarre into psychopathic, one of the hallmark traits of a shaman. He was looking for help, though he didn’t know where to find it or who to trust, fearful that if he revealed his tumultuous inner life, no one would look at him the same again. While a student at George Washington High School in Alexandria, Virginia, from 1959 to 1961, Morrison expressed having a personal issue he didn’t want to share with his parents or his first girlfriend, Tandy Martin. She insisted Jim talk with a local Presbyterian minister. Reluctantly, Jim agreed. Their conversation remains a mystery.

    Morrison would meet another man of the cloth, Pastor Fred L. Stagmeyer, Minister at Large for the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Morrison was friendly to Stagmeyer, who’d made his way backstage one night after a Doors show. Their conversation included a stark warning from Stagmeyer. He pointed out to Morrison that his intent to inspire Doors fans to “break on through to the other side,” to “reinvent all the gods, all the myths of the ages,” and “celebrate symbols from deep elder forests” was not going unnoticed by the Christian Right of 1960s America. Hostility from Christian authorities towards heretics and secret teachers was always the case.

    In The Secret Teachers of the Western World, Lachman discusses how the Catholic Church attempted to end the energising influence of the Italian Renaissance’s great awakening when hermetic and occult texts such as the Corpus Hermeticum were translated into Latin. Suddenly, such investigations into the deeper esoteric dimensions of reality were viewed as a form of insanity. A sort of spiritual guerrilla war ensued, with the forming of many secret societies in countries across Europe and in America to preserve “the rejected knowledge.”

    For Jim Morrison in the 1960s, the Inquisition had long since passed – prolonged imprisonment, torture, and public executions no longer occurred – but not too much else had changed in religious conservative attitudes to what Lachman calls things “new, alien, and other.

    Criminal Charges & France

    Morrison’s penchant for pushing it had already gotten him busted at a Doors performance in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1967, the first performer ever to be arrested onstage. Morrison was later charged by the Miami police with multiple offences, including indecent exposure after the infamous March 1st, 1969, Miami Doors concert where it was alleged he’d exposed himself to the audience. On March 5th, the day Morrison’s arrest warrant was issued, FBI agents in Miami sent a brief report of Morrison’s performance to the office of then-feared FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. This was during Richard Nixon’s presidency, a paranoid man who mounted a campaign to have Beatle John Lennon deported, causing Lennon to cancel a planned 1971 tour of America, known back then as the anti-Nixon tour, with anti-war activists Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. At the request of former Florida governor Charlie Crist during his tenure between 2007 and 2011, the charges against Morrison were re-examined by the Florida Clemency Board. They were found to be weak, and in December 2010, Morrison was posthumously pardoned. 

    The 1960s saw the Western world’s first popular occult awakening. Young people wanted to have fun experiencing the unknown and The Doors became one of their most cherished outlets. Morrison’s flamboyant rebellion made him a not-so-“secret teacher.” He was the eldest son of one of America’s most outstanding officers, Rear Admiral George Morrison. “The Commander,” as Morrison referred to his father throughout his childhood, once offered his resignation to the American Navy due to Morrison’s frequent arrests.

    One of Morrison’s greatest fears came true one fall day in 1970 as a three-man, three-women jury in Dade Criminal Court found him guilty of indecent exposure. Morrison was sentenced to six months incarceration, possibly in Florida’s notorious Raiford Prison, a hostile place where he knew he could easily be killed.

    While still out on bond pending his appeal, Morrison relocated to Paris, France, in 1971 to find himself again as a poet and a person. The pressures he left behind were great. There was the criminal trial in Miami, the fallout from a federal criminal case brought against him in Phoenix, Arizona, for disrupting a commercial airline flight (these two cases put Morrison’s name and face in national news television broadcasts across America), and the expectation that Morrison would remain a highly original artist with The Doors. Besides his enormous legal fees, Morrison was invested heavily in his girlfriend Pamela Courson’s posh West Hollywood clothing boutique, Themis, and her expensive heroin habit, something Morrison detested.

    By 1970, Morrison was no longer the lithe and sexy “Lizard King” of The Doors’ earlier years with his growing paunch, and the music scene in Los Angeles wasn’t impressed with his penchant for passing out drunk in public. As his criminal cases made their way through the courts, Morrison did find refuge in his creativity. He left us some real gems. In 1970, his first book of poems was published, The Lords & The New Creatures, a slender volume filled with fascinating and astute insights on cinema, history, voyeurism, art, sexuality, alchemy, shamanism, and American urban life as well as a long poem that recalls the imagery of the surrealist poets and painters Morrison loved. Heproduced and directed, with the help of his UCLA film school friends, the independent film HWY: An American Pastoral, released in 1969,abouta killer hitchhiking through the Mojave Desert who drives into Los Angeles with one of his victim’s cars (Morrison’s 1967 Shelby GT500 was used in the film). Morrison also contributed to creating one of the most widely acclaimed of The Doors’ six albums, L.A. Woman, released in 1971. Despite these successes, Morrison decided he needed a break from America, that it was time to leave Los Angeles for Paris, confiding in Doors manager Bill Siddons that he didn’t know who he was anymore.

    Waiting to move into their 4th arrondissement apartment, Morrison and Courson stayed in the same room where 19th-century British author Oscar Wilde had died, impoverished and bedridden, on November 30, 1900. Wilde’s health never recovered after two long years in prison following a conviction on moral grounds. In the weeks after the 1969 concert, a “decency” rally was held at a Miami stadium and attracted over 30,000 people. Would a Florida appellate court overturn the conviction? This unknown left Morrison anxious. Then, just three months after he arrived in Paris, Jim Morrison died there on July 3, 1971. Morrison was laid to rest four days later in the same cemetery as Oscar Wilde, Cimetière du Père Lachaise.

  • The Greys & the New World (dis)Order

    The Greys & the New World (dis)Order

    From New Dawn Special Issue Vol 6 No 5 (Oct 2012)

    In light of the 2025 documentary The Age of Disclosure – in which high level US intelligence officials acknowledge contact with different alien species – we present this exclusive extract from Ed Komarek’s book UFOs Exopolitics and the New World Disorder in which he presents whistleblower and extraterrestrial contact testimony about the secret collaboration between alien races and the global elites that rule this planet. 

    There is speculation that the alien species known as the Greys are perhaps just as diverse and spread across the universe as are the human species. Therefore, it is important not to paint what appears to be a vast network of Grey species with the same brush. As with cosmic humans, it seems that the Greys run the gamut from being highly predatory using competitive win-lose tactics, to being cooperative and using win-win tactics. 

    Abduction researchers investigating Grey activity seem to fall into two very contradictory camps, those that see threat, like David Jacobs and those that see promise, like Steven Greer and Carol Rosin and John Mack. It’s possible both sides are right and both sides are wrong, because of the diversity of individuals and groups of Greys. Understanding this diversity as with cosmic humans, is complicated by processes of artificial evolution. 

    Investigator and probable abductee George LoBuono got me interested in the idea of a Grey Collective and he had this to say: 

    Krapf is the first to outline a larger mega-population directly and in detail. It poses an overview of the Greys and the Roswell hybrids, also. We should expect to see some larger populations, given the age of the universe and the way that the Kepler satellite suggests an abundance of Earth-like planets.

    I’ll state my experience with Verdants [a race of Greys], again. Among aliens, telepathic and remote sensing is considered a reliable evidentiary basis for data and reporting. I’ve interacted and have criticised Verdants and their associated aliens for years – even my kids have probably been abducted, i.e. their stories of “dreams” about going up with aliens, after one of which I found a perfect, lentil-sized scoop mark taken out of my son’s foot soles (it absolutely wasn’t there before).

    In years of interactions & rigorous remote probing and questioning of Verdants, it has been as is all such interaction. I see them, the inside of their craft (faintly) and I hear urgent, clear critiques of them by other aliens. I can say that I know the manner, character and behaviour of some Verdants as well as I know that of some humans with whom I have been acquainted for years.

    Even more so, actually, given that in such interactions you resonate into their minds, not just seeing them visually. Having interacted with them and some of their sub-populations, I have absolute zero doubt about their existence. Again, this is in a more alien-like context: where remote checking and detailed interactions are normal, every single day.

    I don’t like to use ethical and moral terms like good and evil anymore to compare different races of extraterrestrials, because what the fox may consider moral and ethical, the rabbit, the fox’s prey, might tend to disagree. I see morality and ethics as cohesive agreements that individuals or groups or even civilisations make between themselves, so as to be able to cooperate together and rise up to a higher level of fractal above those that don’t. 

    Some investigators like George have come to call the agglomeration of Grey species, the Grey collective, a term for this very diverse group of individuals and civilisations. Likewise maybe we should call the agglomerate of galactic human species the galactic human collective. Some evidence seems to suggest that these two collectives and even other cosmic collectives may be colliding and competing, not only on earth, but on a much larger universal playing field. 

    I am suggesting that not only are competitive and cooperative struggles going on within collectives, but between different collectives themselves. I see all this as simply just an extension of what is happening in nature all around us, here on earth. Why should the evolutionary laws of nature not apply elsewhere? The laws of physics do not stop at the edge of space, so why should the laws of nature, politics, science and economics stop at the edge of space.

    Charles Hall has told me that the TW [Tall Whites] are in a cold war with the Greys, disliking even hating the Greys, and a source known to Jeff Adams claiming to be the step-son of an Air Force general with close MJ 12 connection told Jeff this: 

    The Nordics and the Greys had an alliance which fell apart at this same time. The Nordics, who can be quite warlike when they want to be, opened up a can of whoopass on the Greys, and the war cost the Greys a lot of ground. The Greys were apparently using the Nordics for their own purposes, and the Nordics were not amused. The US/EU/UN still works with the Greys, so we all know where this going to end.

    I have heard similar stories of conflict between cosmic humans and Greys from my local contactee friends with one saying that he doubts that the Greys are going to leave us alone anytime soon. It’s pretty obvious from abductee accounts like those of Jim Sparks, that the Greys think of us as property. In this quote from Jim’s book on page 100 this point was made very clear. 

    They seemed to sense my rage, and they left me alone for a little bit. I was clear-headed but angry… Then, instead of answering any questions, they made their presentation again, though this time in written form, in their language. I watched it and found that, again, I could comprehend it, and it all underlined their message: “We’ve been around for a while. We’ve been working on your personal family line. We know you well. Humans are ours.”

    Jeff Adams’ source gave more detail, but it’s similar to what I have heard elsewhere on the number of ET races known to the government. 

    To Jeff: Just got off with some friends in the know. Here is what they had to add. They also told me what to look for; (deleted for security reasons) there are 7 major and 57 minor alien races in our section of the universe. If we expand to include our galaxy, the number rises to 11 and 124. So much for the ‘no life in the rest of the universe’ theory!! LOL 🙂

    They seemed to sense my rage, and they left me alone for a little bit. I was clear-headed but angry… Then, instead of answering any questions, they made their presentation again, though this time in written form, in their language… – Jim Sparks

    This leads me to believe that the really big picture in which we are intimately and subtly involved is a continuous struggle where the Greys are pressing and testing the defenses of the celestial human collective over wide portions of universal space. Because we are dealing with advanced sophisticated beings, the competitive struggles can be very subtle and range far beyond our normal perceptual awareness, even into our individual minds creating a cosmic mental battlefield. 

    It may be that competitive struggles start as inter-galactic psyops, a kind of advanced multidimensional chess game that may or may not degrade into open material conflict on many material worlds. An analogy would be that a family fight begins with name calling, disinformation, propaganda and lies, then may or may not degrade down into violent action. 

    The Greys seem to be fundamentally different than humans with some having atrophied digestive tracts as discussed in alleged military autopsy reports and may be absorbing nutrients through the skin rather than through a digestive tract. The skin may function like the inside of our digestive tracts, that’s why some feel clammy and damp and smelly when touched. 

    There is some evidence and speculation that the mutilation of animals and even humans, where the bodies are drained of blood, that some kind of food mixture using blood, is being externally ingested into their bodies through the skin. Maybe there is something to the vampire myths after all. Most Greys interacting with abductees also seem to be lacking of feelings and deep emotions while surpassing us in intellectual abilities.

    Accounts of an early meeting by extraterrestrial humans with earth humans have indicated that the Eisenhower Administration and his military generals were warned by these human ETs not to get involved with the Greys. Gerald Light was the first to report on Eisenhower meeting with extraterrestrials. 

    Gerald Light’s letter is dated April 16, 1954 to Meade Layne, who was at the time director of Borderland Sciences Research. In the letter Light claimed he was part of a delegation of community leaders who met with extraterrestrials at Edwards Air Force Base.

    My dear friends: I have just returned from Muroc [Edwards Air Force Base]. The report is true – devastatingly true! I made the journey in company with Franklin Allen of the Hearst papers and Edwin Nourse of Brookings Institute (Truman’s erstwhile financial advisor) and Bishop MacIntyre of L.A. (confidential names for the present, please). 

    When we were allowed to enter the restricted section (after about six hours in which we were checked on every possible item, event, incident and aspect of our personal and public lives), I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realised that their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description. 

    The reality of the ‘other plane’ aeroforms is now and forever removed from the realms of speculation and made a rather painful part of the consciousness of every responsible scientific and political group. 

    During my two days’ visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials – with the assistance and permission of the Etherians! 

    I have no words to express my reactions. It has finally happened. It is now a matter of history. President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various ‘authorities’ and go directly to the people via radio and television – if the impasse continues much longer…

    The truth seems to be very clear that some Greys are managing the earth human race, considering us their property. It’s very clear in abductee accounts that we are expected to submit to them in every way. However from reports I have been seeing, resistance has been growing from many quarters both inside the breakaway civilisation and outside in the public domain. The net result seems to be a state of insider cooperation based on human failings very well understood and useful to the Greys, and in other cases, resistance, outright hostility, fighting and shoot-downs. One Special Forces patch has “Tastes like Chicken” written around an image of a typical alien face with a red line across the face as well.

    I have come to believe that incorporation into the Grey Collective or Mega-population is a far greater security threat to humanity than even overpopulation, war and environmental degradation combined. I believe the Globalist Elite are being secretly manipulated to support the Grey Agenda and we are gradually losing our precious human sovereignty and individual human rights to a Grey controlled Orwellian New World Order. UFO/ET secrecy plays right into the Grey Agenda because lack of awareness by the prey, is to the advantage of the predator.

    What is also becoming clear is that it must take thousands perhaps even tens of thousands of Greys and their hybrids cooperating within the classified breakaway civilisation to manage our rapidly growing population and rapid technological evolution. The evidence suggests that these operations are headquartered in underground mazes of tunnels, military bases even underground cities on earth and now perhaps even in joint mining operations on the Moon.

    Reports and books by very credible investigators like Richard Sauder in his books on underground and underwater bases describes very well a little of the history behind the breakaway civilisations creation and move to extensive underground secret secure facilities. This began before the 1950’s, when underground excavations and tunnelling began in earnest, again seemingly in parallel with extraterrestrial contact. 

    One really can’t delve into this subject of the Greys without coming to the conclusion that the Greys seem to be operating out of subterranean bases now networked into United States subterranean facilities throughout the western United States, the Nation and across the globe. This vast system of excavated underground tunnels, bases, even cities, that are part of the secret infrastructure of the Breakaway Society, would seem to be 50 to a 100 years advanced from what is public, just as is with the Secret Space Program. 

    There is little doubt in my mind that the Greys have advanced the aerospace and biotechnology of the US and its allies, far beyond what would have happened naturally. Even the TW and other races have seemed unwilling to give us deep space technology to travel to other solar systems. The Greys seem to see us a weak link in the cosmic human collective, and see it’s to their advantage to give us this technology at the expense of the greater cosmic human collective. 

    Bill Uhouse

    A pretty clear cut case of Greys accelerating our secret aerospace programs is that of Bill Uhouse. Bill is now dead, but there are video interviews and transcripts that tell his story of working with a Grey on flying disk simulators to train pilots to fly the donated and reverse engineered disks in the government’s possession. His testimony is very compelling and puts another critical node on the timeline to today’s Secret Space Program. 

    I am very impressed by how consistent the testimony of so many whistle-blowers is with the historical timeline to today’s Secret Space Program. 

    Linda Howe, a credible and well respected UFO/ET investigator, got into this case early. As you see from this quote from one of her early articles, she presents Bill Uhouse’s evidence that the Greys were cooperating extensively with the American military to accelerate the Secret Space Program and Space Fleet. Linda Howe states: 

    On visits to the flight simulator, Bill Uhouse would occasionally see who acted as a technical adviser to the ultra-secret program that Bill worked on. It was J-Rod, a typical gray-coloured EBE, hairless and without facial expressions. He had large, black wrap-around eyes or eye-lenses that are typical of these creatures. He is reported to be 200 years old, suffering from cell deterioration and still located at Papoose S-4, Area 51 in Nevada. But I can’t confirm that.

    During my investigations of the Secret Space Fleet code named Solar Warden, at least for that part of it operating in our solar system, I contacted and talked to UFO/ET investigator Wendelle Stevens not long before he died. Wendelle was very interested in Solar Warden and was doing his own investigations and we shared information. 

    Wendelle told me that he was told by his source or sources that past NSA director Admiral Bobby Inman’s company SAIC was making the flying disks on earth and then flying them up to the very large carrier craft in space. These would seem to be the very same disks that Bill Uhouse was involved with. UFO/ET investigator and activist Steven Greer at his disclosure project Internet site mentions SAIC, a transnational group having access to covert programs dealing with ET related technology. 

    Admiral Bobby Inman

    I hope the reader can appreciate how all these tiny bits of testimony, while not so significant individually, when put together methodically and in context, make for a very compelling case for the classified breakaway civilisation. We can see how that civilisation is being fostered and developed with the help of several alien races, especially the Greys.

    Bobby Inman got a lot of attention in the UFO community years ago when Bob Oechsler secretly recorded a conversation where Inman confirmed his knowledge of extraterrestrials and their craft. This material also illustrates the revolving door between government and the private sector, the so called military-industrial complex. In the article written by Lee Nicholson, Nicholson says:

    We are proud to announce that former NASA mission specialist, Robotics expert, and maverick UFO investigator Bob Oechsler has kindly consented to a series of interviews with us here at the Open Minds Forum. Bob’s contributions during the early 1990’s were unparalleled in many respects, not the least of which was his infamous recorded telephone conversation with former Director of the NSA and Deputy Director CIA, retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman. It is our belief that much of the work that Bob did at that time remains equally important today.

    If one reads the complete phone transcript, it is obvious that Inman is talking about extraterrestrial technology when he answers Oechsler’s question: 

    “Do you anticipate that any of the recovered vehicles would ever become available for technological research outside of the military circles?” Inman: “Again, I honestly don’t know. Ten years ago the answer would have been no. Whether as time has evolved they are beginning to become more open on it, there’s a possibility.”

    Dan Sherman: NSA Intuitive Communicator for the Greys

    Dan Sherman claims that he was told by his NSA superiors that the Greys developed a program into which he was unwittingly inducted as a foetus in his mother’s womb in 1963. His role was to become a NSA intuitive communicator to be used to maintain Grey communications after an anticipated future global catastrophic communications breakdown.

    The Captain said: 

    “In 1947, the US government made contact with an alien species. Today, we commonly refer to them as ‘greys’. Because of this contact, we have learned many things. Some of the things we learned were good, and some not-so-good. And it’s one of those not-so-good things that has ultimately brought you here, Sergeant Sherman.”

    Staff Sergeant Dan Sherman

    The captain went on: 

    “The experiment that I’m referring to was, and still is, named ‘Project Preserve Destiny’. It started in 1960 and was fully operational by 1963. It was a genetic management project with the sole purpose of cultivating human offspring so that they would have the ability to communicate with the greys. Your mother was initially abducted in 1960 for tests, then again in 1963 for the actual genetic procedure while you were in the womb.” “Compatibility?” “Yes. Actually, it’s a long story. I’ll try to explain as much as I can but there’s much that I don’t even know. In a nutshell, you’ve been given an interesting ability through what we call genetic management.” 

    “I mentioned you have a unique ability; we call it ‘intuitive communications.’ It’s an ability to communicate through the intuitive manipulation of your mind. There have been a handful of people since this ability was perfected that have utilised this skill within the military establishment. There are many others throughout the general world populace that currently have this ability, but until it is brought out by proper exercise methods it lays dormant.”

    “In January of 1963, the first successfully managed embryo was produced under PPD supervision. There were only a certain number of ‘intcomm’ capable personnel required; hence the genetic management phase of PPD was terminated in March of 1968.” 

    I got interested in this old time tested Dan Sherman case, not only because it is an example of the Greys accelerating our technological development, but because NASA has been warning for years of a massive communication failures caused by severe solar flares that could be extremely catastrophic. For instance, a flare in 1859 fried telegraph wires, just imagine what could happen to our civilisation today if an event like this were to occur.

    Communication satellites could be not only destroyed in earth orbit, but the area around the earth would be off limits for satellites for years because of the radiation. Our whole civilisation could be set back a decade or more if this were to happen now when we have ascended so far into the electronics age. No wonder the Greys would be concerned with maintaining communication with their earth human assets and network in such a situation.

    Unless a person has been in this field for a long time with a mind suited for intelligence gathering and analysis or has a road map such as this book [UFOs Exopolitics and the New World Disorder] to follow; it’s almost a hopeless task to find the signal in the noise. What the reader is seeing is a benefit of my life’s work in a nutshell, mostly directed to the younger generation that needs to hit the ground running in regards to these matters so as to get society back on a positive evolutionary track.

  • A Brief Look at the Life & Ideas of John A. Keel

    A Brief Look at the Life & Ideas of John A. Keel

    From New Dawn Special Issue Vol 10 No 1 (Feb 2016)

    There is a tragic lack of intelligent and original thought on the part of those who research Fortean phenomena. Year after year, the same tired ideas get thrown into the washing machine, to be sloshed around again and again like so many pairs of dirty socks, so that very little progress is made in terms of advancing and elevating the discussion. UFOs and their supposed occupants are explained in terms of extraterrestrials; Bigfoots and other cryptids are argued to be flesh-and-blood creatures; and the authorities are perceived to have all the answers regarding these and just about every other mystery on the planet.

    A young John Keel 

    Years ago, when I myself was a nuts-and-bolts flying saucer adherent, I stumbled upon an amazing and radical collection of books that forever changed my view of the UFO mystery and Fortean phenomena in general. More than anything, reading these books made me realise that UFOs, poltergeists, lake monsters, and so forth, are not separate mysteries but in fact different pieces of the same puzzle.

    The books to which I refer, of course, are those of John A. Keel, easily the greatest Fortean thinker since Charles Fort himself. Were it not for his amazing contribution, our understanding of Fortean phenomena, and the UFO mystery in particular, would be decades behind what it is now.

    Born on 25 March 1930, in Hornell, New York, Alva John Kiehle spent much of his early childhood under the care of his grandparents, owing to the breakdown of his parents’ marriage. In his book Jadoo (1957), he describes his mother as “a lively, pretty girl with a strong sense of humour and a talent for mixing with people” and his father, a singer and bandleader, as “sober and introverted,” and adds that their marriage “soon went flat because of their contrasting personalities and the hardships of the depression.”

    As a child, he possessed a voracious appetite for knowledge, devouring books on those topics that interested him – in particular, magic, humour, science, travel and aviation. He was especially passionate about magic, earning him the nickname “Houdini” from his peers. Determined to become a writer, he had his first story published in a magicians’ magazine at the age of 12. At the age of 14, he had his own column, “Scraping the Keel,” with a local newspaper, was publishing his own science-fiction fanzine, The Lunarite, as well as contributing pieces to other publications. After moving to Manhattan in 1947, his literary accomplishments expanded to include scripts for radio and television programs.

    Though it wasn’t until later in his life that Keel began actively pursuing the Fortean, his involvement in such matters began in childhood, and he states that he was born with a high degree of psychic ability. Apparently, at the age of around 11, there was a period of poltergeist activity in his home in the form of strange knocking sounds on the walls of his bedroom. He found that, if he asked the “poltergeist” a question, it would respond by delivering the correct number of knocks.

    At 18, while living in a furnished room near Times Square, he underwent an “illuminating experience” whereby the place became “filled with an indescribable light, a pinkish glow” and his mind was “flooded with a torrent of information.” He adds: “For a few brief moments I suddenly understood everything and was really one with the cosmos. The next morning I could remember very little of it but I’m sure it was all entered into my subconscious.”

    John Keel as older gentleman

    Following a stint in the US Army during the Korean War, in which he served on the staff of the American Forces’ Network, Keel worked as a foreign radio correspondent in Paris, Berlin, Rome and Egypt. One of his broadcasts took place from inside the Great Pyramid, earning him a great deal of publicity. Restless and hungry for adventure, he resigned in order to explore the Middle East and Asia, while earning a living writing stories and articles for various pulp magazines. (Typical titles include “I Fed My Arm to a Tiger,” “Bosoms, Blood, and Baloney,” and “German Sex Traps.”)

    Throughout this four year period, Keel spent much of his time investigating magic, such as the Indian rope trick and the ability to drive hatpins through the tongue and cheeks, as well as alleged demonstrations of “real magic,” or psychic phenomena. He describes his adventures and findings in the aforementioned Jadoo (a Hindu word meaning “magic”), one of the funniest and most fascinating travel books ever written. A pioneer cryptozoologist, Keel mentions how, while staying in the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim, he attempted to track down the Abominable Snowman, or Yeti, at one point catching sight of what appeared to be a group of huge, ape-like creatures.

    Later, back in America, Keel’s interest turned to the UFO phenomenon, after Playboy commissioned him to write an article on the topic. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, he began travelling the country to interview UFO witnesses and “contactees.” His investigations led him, in 1966, to the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a great deal of UFO activity was being reported at the time, in conjunction with sightings of a mysterious six-foot-tall winged-humanoid with glowing red eyes, which the press dubbed “Mothman.”

    The latter sightings, which involved scores of reliable witnesses, were focused around an abandoned World War Two munitions manufacturing-storage complex on the edge of town, known among the locals as the “TNT area,” although the creature was spotted in other areas too, and was said to be able to rise straight up into the air like a helicopter and pursue automobiles at speeds approaching a hundred miles an hour.

    Not only was the Point Pleasant area found to be a hotspot for winged-humanoid sightings and strange aerial lights, but also, observed Keel, to a host of other paranormal manifestations, including poltergeist hauntings, electrical disturbances in the form of television sets “burning out at an alarming rate” and telephones “going crazy, ringing at all hours of the day and night with no one on the other end.” Even creepier, “Some people were getting calls from mysterious strangers speaking a cryptic language.”

    It didn’t take Keel long to recognise that all of these bizarre occurrences were related, and, further, that they had nothing to do with extraterrestrials and more to do with psychic phenomena and the occult. He explains: “Some UFOs were directly related to the human consciousness, just as ghostly apparitions are often the product of the percipient’s mind. There are deeply rooted psychic and psychological factors in the UFO phenomenon, and the sudden appearance of a light in the sky triggers and releases the human energy that stimulated seemingly supernatural events.”

    On 15 December 1967, roughly a year after the first Mothman sighting, the Silver Bridge, which stretched across the Ohio River, connecting Point Pleasant to Gallipolis, Ohio, collapsed while loaded with rush-hour traffic, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. As there were few additional Mothman sightings following the tragedy, the belief emerged that the two were related, and the Mothman came to be seen as a harbinger of doom. Keel’s book on the mystery, The Mothman Prophecies (1975), was made into a successful movie starring Richard Gere.

    As a very real example of the idiom “we attract that which we think about,” Keel found himself targeted by the very phenomena he was trying to unravel, causing him many headaches and countless bouts of paranoia. Cryptic messages kept appearing on his answering machine, he was plagued by strange men in dark suits who drove black Cadillacs (the so-called “men in black”), and he discovered that his phone was being tapped and his mail interfered with. Although some of these bizarre incidents were likely the work of the intelligence community, others defy logical explanation and instead point towards those “cosmic pranksters” he called the “Ultraterrestrials.”

    These mysterious entities, reasoned Keel, are somehow indigenous to Earth yet inhabit a dimension beyond time and physical matter. By shifting up and down through the electromagnetic spectrum, they can materialise and dematerialise as they please. Though they can be either good or evil, they seem to delight in manipulating and tricking human beings. Throughout different cultures and periods in history, we’ve referred to them by such names as gods, demons, spirits, fairies, angels, and monsters. Encounters with them have spawned entire religions – for example, Joseph Smith’s visit from the angel Moroni, which led to the birth of Mormonism. Today we perceive them as extraterrestrial in nature.

    From Keel’s perspective, then, the UFO mystery is simply a modern version of the same “game” the Ultraterrrestrials have been playing on humanity since time immemorial. As to what these entities are trying to achieve, he speculated that they operate as part of a “subtle cosmological system of control [that] has been in effect since the dawn of humanity.” This view mirrors that of the French computer scientist and UFO researcher Jacques Vallee, who hypothesised that the UFO phenomenon is “a control system for human consciousness.”

    Besides the Ultraterrestrial hypothesis, which is one of the more intelligent theories to explain the origin of UFOs, another contribution of Keel’s is the finding that UFO sightings tend to recur within specific geographical locations he called “window areas,” perhaps due in part to local geomagnetic factors. “The earth’s magnetic field is probably the culprit in many cases of seemingly inexplicable phenomena,” he wrote. “Our planet is pockmarked with magnetic anomalies and aberrations.”

    Keel, who passed away on 3 July 2009, at the age of 79, left behind countless articles and many books. The latter include UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse (1970), Strange Creatures from Time and Space (1970), Our Haunted Planet (1971), The Eighth Tower (1975), Disneyland of the Gods (1988) and the comedic novel The Fickle Finger of Fate (1966). Humble and possessed of a dry wit, he stressed that “nobody is an authority on UFOs,” including himself, and that he expected to be remembered “as a novelist and playwright – if I am remembered at all.”
